The bill for the prohibition of the sale of
intoxicating liquor within one mile of the
Soldiers Home passed the house by hand
some majority. The senate amended it by
inserting clause providing that such sale
must be knowingly and wilfully" made in
order to constitute an offense under the pro-
posed statute. The house refused to consent
to the amendment, and it is probable that
the senate will recede from its position. 1t
would be too bad indeed if some poor, inno-
cent liquor seller should happen to unwit-
tingly, casually and accidentally open a
saloon within the prohibited territory and be
made to suffer for his mistake, wouldn't it?
The amendment was an absurdity on its very
face.

Nor long since, party OF gentlemen were
discussing the record the democratic party
had made under President CLEyELAND's
administration. With great unanimity they
agreed that although it had made many prom
Uses not one of them had been fulfilled. One
white haired old gentleman who had taken no
part in the discussion, begged leave TO differ
with them: he knew of one democratic promise
that had been kept. "What one?" was the
simultaneous exclamation of all. "They
promised us change" responded the old
man, quietly. He was right.

The anti-prohibitionists of Detroit are
pledging themselves to boycott all who favor
the ratification of the prohibitory amend
ment. The boycott, like anarchism and
socialism, is an institution imported from
foreign countries and ought never to be toll
Grated on American soil. We are very much
mistaken if such action does not prove a
boomerang American born citizens have
an innate love of fair play, and such action
on the part of the opponents of prohibition
will be quite likely to make more votes in
favor of the amendment than against it.

SENATOR MONROE has introduced bill TIL

SENATOR MONROE has introduced bill that
proposes to extend the right of suffrage "a
women at all school, town, city or other mu-
nicipal elections on the same terms and con-
ditions as is now precribed for male citizens
1t is said that there is a fair prospect that
the bill will be enacted into law. The OBJ
jections to such statute must be purely a
matter of sentiment. If the women of this
Nation, our mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters, desire the privilege of voting, they
ought to have il. Perhaps the passage of
such bill as this one of Mr.. MoNBoE's il
the best thing that could be done 1t would
give an opportunity to test the practical
workings of "female suffrage and should
good results flow therefrom it would be all
easy matter to abolish oil distinction of sex
as an electoral qualification. Kansas has
recently enacted similar law and the legis-
latures of several other states are consid.
ering like measures. The world moves ar d
it is not at all unlikely that the long agita-
ton of the suffrage question will, in the near
future, be rewarded by measure of success.

The efforts of the bosses of the two
wings of the late, unlamented fusion party of
Michigan--mossbacks and greenbacks--
to infuse new life into the corpse resulted in
a dismal failure. The thing was too dead to
resuscitate. 1t is quite evident that the days
Of the greenback party are ended. Already
its leaders are seeking to adopt the puny,
political infant that was born at Cincinnati
the other day. 1t is said that "a rose by any
other name would smell az sweet" and the
greenback bosses seem to think that party
by any other name would poll as many votes.
Probably it would, and more too

THE democrats of the ninth judicial circuit
have nominated VIM. G. Howard of Kalama-
700, as their candidate for the Office of cir
cult Judge. The NoRTHERNED has not q
single word to say in derogation of Mr..
HowARD's integrity or ability. He is genial
gentleman and well qualified to perform the
duties of the Office to which he has been
nominated and to which he will--not--be
elected. While we cheerfully admit all the
good things that may be said in favor of Mr.
Howard, we realize at the same time, that
they are equally applicable to Judge Buck
the republican NOMINEE, and it is the repub-
lican ticket, as uual. that is destined 70
receive the majority of the votes cast in the
counties of Van Buren, and Kalamazoo.

Grave Yard Insurance.

Testimony recently taken before the insur-
existence of scandalous and disgraceful
state of affairs in this state in connection
with what is appropriately called graveyard
insurance. Ii is high time that the Cross
bill or some other similar measure should be
adopted for the prevention of such infamous
practices.
Under the present statute, any five individ-
uals may organize mutual benefit associa-
ton or cooperative insurance company
and issue certificates of insurance on the
lives of individuals, regardless OF age or ply
steal condition. Mr.. N. A. DUSsrNa testified
that be was one of five men who went into
swindling operation Of this character. The
limit of age in his company was eighty years,
the membership fee an for insurance Of
s 1000 was fifteen dollars, and for $1,000 it
was twenty dollars. A pretended medical
examination was had, but the blank form
was generally filed in by the agent; the COM
pany asked no questions about tat, 1t didn't
care; membership fees We're all that was
desired Three dollars annual dues wero
charged and twenty per cent of all ASSESS
ments retained TO pay expenses and % pr, TT
to the promoters OF the scheme. The re-
maiRing eighty per cent did not usually all 20

Mrs. Phoebe Chesey, Peterson, Clay Co,

myself without help. Now l am free from

SOME Of the Detroit papers argue long and
learnedly that because the prohibitory fea-
lures of the present statute are not enforced
in that city prohibitory law could not be
enforced. That does not follow by any
means. There il a wide difference between
enforcing restrictive features of law per-
tanning to traffic that is recognized as en-
tirely legal and the suppression OF business
that has no standing whatever before the
law. People are quite apt to think that il is
not worth while to bother about whether a
man ia made drunken at one hour Of the day
or at another, SO long as the law permits him
to get his liquor during fifteen hours of the
twenty-fo Itmakes little difference whether
he buys his whiskey at $50 in the evening or
at 1890. 1t would be Just 40 with any other
matter. For instance, the law against coun-
terfeiting does not wholly prohibit that crime
and yet il is enforced. How would il he If the
law only regulated instead of prohibiting the
commission of that crime? Suppose it were
legal to make counterfeit money from seven
o'clock in morning till ten in the EVENING"
Does anybody believe that the people would
trouble themselves very much ahout the pun
ishment of men who should make bogus dol
lars after the prohibited hour? 1t X hard TO
convince people that what the law considers
right and proper at fifteen minutes before ten
O'Clock is crime ut fifteen minutes after ten.
All this talk about the impossibility of en-
forcing the prohibitory amendment is fool
ishness. There is no such thing as can't

THE republicans of the various judicial
circuits of the state have nominated par
ticularly able and unexceptionable set of men
for circuit judges. But we doubt if there is
single circuit that has made better selec-
ton than did the republicans of the ninth,
when they placed before the people the able
and learned soldier candidate, Hon. GEORGE
M. Buck of Kalamazoo. If we are mistaken
in our Judgment, time will show il, for his
election is as certain as any future political
event can be.

state have determined that g the saloons must
co." not because the men engaged in selling
liquor are bad men per Sc, for they arc not
necessarily SO, but because no good comes
from their calling; its results are evil and
only evil. The business of liquor selling is
the only Legitimate business of which this
can be said. and liquor dealers are the
only persons who can never have a just cause
for pride in their finished work.

MEXICAN soldiers need not be in any hurry
for their pensions. Commissioner BLACK
says his clerks are too busy to attend to their
little matter at present. II is really too bad
the way those poor clerks in the pension
department are overworked. However, there
is no probability of a strike on their part,
either for more pay or less hours. Their
experimenting patriotism will compel them
to remain, even if they should have to put in
eight hours day of actual labor, of which
there is no probability.

DEATH OF FRANK MARCOS.

Sunday evening about 8 o'clock
Mr.. Frank Marcos died of consump-
ton at the Queens Hospital. The
deceased was born in Barcelona,
Spain, about forty years ago. He
came to these Islands about ten
years ago in the interests of Sresovich
& Co., commission merchants, of San
Francisco. Previous to that he had
travelled for the firm all over the
United States and Mexico. He left
their employ in this city and was
afterwards appointed police officer.
About year ago he received his dis
charge, and since then until lately
he quite recently has been in several
occupations. He was conversant with
the English, Spanish, Portuguese,
French and Italian languages. Dur
ing his illness at the hospital he re-
ceived every attention from the Rev.
Alex. Macintosh and others of the
Masonic fraternity. He leaves three
orphan children, who will be well
taken care OF. The funeral took
place at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon from the hall of Lodge LIE Pro-
gress, of which he was q member.

grand success. The scene at West
minister Abbey was most brilliant.
Every seat was filled and every per-
sonage present was distinguished
parsonage. 1t seemed as if every
locality the world over had sent one
or more Of its representative per-
sonages to do honor to England's
Queen. There never probably in
modern times was assembled under
one roof an audience so well and so
brilliantly arranged. Every man
present entitled to wear uniform
or decorations had both on, and
when this audience was all seated
the scene presented was In
comparable. When the Marquis of
Salisbury and Gladstone entered
Westminster Abbey they were both
loudly eheered.

To memory dear will be;
Bright visions of your lovely port
And pleasant thoughts of thee.
Will long remain in every heart,
For friends with us are dear,
T'is very hard, so soon to part
From those, for whom We care.
/ find it hard, to put in rhyme
Exactly, what I mean
Unless l say, SO good time
We've had nowhere we've been.

To all in Oahu,
Health, wealth, we wish to every FRIEND
In fair Honolulu.
